A Message from Dr. Manola
Good afternoon!
Amazingly, today is May 14. It’s mid-May, and somehow, today marks the last day of high school for the Class of 2021. Our Seniors. It’s hard to believe and comes with an incredible range of emotions. It’s exciting, it’s bittersweet, it’s joyous, and it’s sad. However you might be feeling, if you have a student who is graduating next week, we are with you!
Today, we are excited to join you and bring you today’s #leydenpride East Leyden Parent Bulletin. Whether you have a graduating senior or have a freshman, sophomore, or junior who has one more week to go, we know that everyone has been balancing so much, and we hope that you are hanging in there. If there is anything you need, please reach out anytime.
Below, you’ll find important information and updates, so please take some time to read. Importantly, we also wanted to share some final dates with you:
Last day of school for seniors: Today, Friday, May 14
